Seeing Luo Yuan jump from such a high position, a few of the soldiers were shocked and quickly stuck their heads out to look down.
They saw that Luo Yuan had landed on a piece of concrete without any fancy movements, making a dull thud. The next moment, he stood up straight and walked down the concrete with ease. The soldiers could not help but look at each other in shock.
As Luo Yuan walked, countless insects were affected by the aura of his Zhanmadao and quickly fled the area. Some of them did not manage to escape in time, and their bodies stiffened and fell to the ground. Luo Yuan walked around and chased away all the low-level mutated beasts.
Because the ground here had been poured with cement before, the shrubs here were not tall, and they grew sparsely. However, each of them appeared to have twisted branches, strong and extremely hard, as if they had been growing for countless years.
There were not many vines there, and there was only one type of vines. They were very thin, and most of them were only the size of a chopstick. The main stem had regular patterns that looked like scales, but they were very tough. Luo Yuan found one and pulled it hard, but he found that he could not break it even if he used all his strength.
It was enough to support his body weight.
Luo Yuan found a few vines and cut them one by one with his Zhanmadao. Then, he tied a dead knot to each other, forming a rope that was about 10 meters long. For safety reasons, Luo Yuan checked again and tied the knot that was most likely to cause a problem. He then pulled it hard. He then tied a stone to one end of the rope and threw it onto the highway.
"Everyone grab the rope and come down one by one. Be careful," Luo Yuan said.
The first to come down were three children. Their bodies were tied to ropes, and their ends were pulled by the people on top. They were slowly brought down, followed by Huang Jiahui and the other women, as well as Huo Dong and the others. Finally, the soldiers came down.
Luo Yuan secretly calculated the whole process. Excluding the three children, from the time Huang Jiahui grabbed the rope to the time Fu Xianfeng landed on the ground, they had spent half an hour.
The soldiers were the most numerous, but their physical fitness was far inferior. Many of them were injured, but their speed was the fastest. In total, it took them less than three minutes.
From this, one could see the difference between a well-organized military group and a messy amateur team like Luo Yuan's.
Putting aside his strength, just his discipline and obedience was something that these people couldn't compare to. As long as their physical fitness improved, the combat power they could display with such discipline would definitely increase exponentially.
However, Luo Yuan was just an ordinary citizen before the apocalypse. He did not gather for ambition or power. He just wanted to save as many people as he could. Instead of relying on discipline to improve his combat power, he would rather work hard to improve his strength.
Moreover, if everything went smoothly, perhaps they would no longer have to live such a life where their lives were hanging by a thread.
Luo Yuan's thoughts flashed through his mind. He saw the giant lizard peeking out from above, as if it was about to jump down. Luo Yuan quickly asked everyone to move away.
Everyone hurriedly dispersed, and the surrounding area quickly became empty.
Under everyone's horrified gazes, the giant lizard's huge body fell from the sky and landed heavily on the ground, making a muffled sound. Its body, which weighed more than ten tons, directly smashed a piece of concrete into pieces, almost causing a small earthquake.
"Brother Luo, how did you raise this pet? I'd like to raise one someday. "Zhou Yicheng was a little surprised and asked half-truthfully.
This was an extremely important piece of information. If it could be popularized, it would definitely be a strong shot in the arm for the current situation. Once the army had an additional Warbeast Legion, the impact on various aspects and the role of future reconstruction and recovery work was almost immeasurable.
"Beat it into submission!" Luo Yuan turned around and looked at him, saying, "Intelligent mutated beasts are afraid of death. Of course, other than this method, we have to train it from young. It's best if it's a canine mutated beast. It's smart and easy to cultivate its loyalty. I think the military already has the habit of training military dogs, so I think it can be popularized."
Of course, Luo Yuan knew what Zhou Yicheng was thinking, but he did not intend to hide it anyway. There was no need for him to do so. If even he had found out, how could the country not have found out? Moreover, it was obvious. Keeping it a secret would be like treating others as idiots. Perhaps only those who lived in the enemy's territory did not know about it.
When Luo Yuan glanced at him, it was as if all his thoughts had been seen through. Zhou Yicheng hid a smile and said, "Military dogs? Looks like there's no hope for me. Whenever I see a dog, I want to eat dog meat. That's why the dog wants to bite me."
"You'd better not say that again!"
"Why?" Zhou Yicheng asked curiously.
"There's a dog here!" Luo Yuan said with a strange expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Huang jumped down. He had not fully recovered and seemed to be exhausted. After lying on the ground for a while, he slowly stood up. When he stood up, his lightbulb-like eyes inadvertently glanced at Zhou Yicheng and he let out a ferocious roar.
"Is … is this a dog?" Zhou Yicheng's eardrums were ringing from the roar, and he stammered after a while.
Being stared at by such a mutated beast had put a lot of pressure on him.
In fact, at this stage of evolution, Lao Huang was already a completely different species from a dog. Compared to a dog, its mouth was much wider, and the proportions of its facial features had been adjusted to different extents. Its limbs were thick and strong, and its strong and broad body was completely different from a dog's thin and slender body.
If the fiery red and fluffy fur was still there, instead of saying that Old Huang looked like a dog, it would be better to say that he looked more like a lion, a super lion at that.
"Commander, there's something here." Suddenly, a soldier seemed to have noticed something.
Zhou Yicheng quickly ran over, as if he was escaping from something. Luo Yuan followed him.
It was half of a bridge pier lying diagonally in the bushes. Even if an ordinary person saw it, they would not care, but it was different in the eyes of a professional, and they could often analyze a lot of information.
"There's a spiral pattern on the pier, four and a half circles. There are obvious scratches on the surface, and there's a serious dent. The radius is about 45 centimeters, and there's a regular pattern." When the soldier saw everyone coming over, he quickly said, "I suspect … I suspect this was done by a mutated beast. Its body should be very long, and I suspect it's a snake-like creature."
Luo Yuan carefully touched the regular pattern of the bridge pier. His face was solemn. To be able to break a bridge pier with a diameter of about two meters, it must not have been an ordinary mutated beast. Even if it was a giant lizard, it would need to hit it a few times in order to break the bridge pier.
He immediately said, "Look for other bridge piers to see if there's anything similar."
The soldiers looked at Zhou Yicheng, but they did not move. Zhou Yicheng was angry. In his eyes, Luo Yuan was a domineering person, and he was afraid of angering Luo Yuan, so he quickly said, "Brother Luo's words are my words. What are you waiting for?"
Luo Yuan did not care about such a small matter, so he just waved his hand.
Not long after, they found a new pier. There were a total of six piers in this area. Apart from two of them, which were obviously broken due to pressure, the others all had screw-like twisting marks.
Luo Yuan hesitated for a while, but decided to continue moving forward.
The second collapsed area was not far from where they were. It was only a few hundred meters away, and they arrived in a few minutes. What was depressing was that, just like the first one, there were spiral marks on the piers.
As he moved forward, he became numb to all the collapses he passed. Even if he reached a fault, he wouldn't check it again. If nothing unexpected happened, the fault that stretched for more than ten kilometers might have been broken by a mutated creature.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger along the way. Not even a light blue or blue level mutated beast, let alone dangerous mutated beasts. All the mutated beasts in the area had already escaped.
However, Luo Yuan was even more cautious. As they got closer to the last fault, he gradually became more nervous.
Suddenly, the giant lizard shook its head in annoyance, and its footsteps seemed to be hesitating. Lao Huang even kept retreating, making threatening sounds.
Luo Yuan quickly asked the giant lizard to lie down, and everyone else got down.
The sudden arrival of danger made everyone feel pressured. However, even Huo Dong and the others were no longer rookies on the battlefield. Although they were afraid, they still took out their weapons and prepared to fight. Even Zhao Yali took out her pistol in a flurry.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in front of them.
"Brother Luo, why isn't he here yet?" Wang Shishi asked softly after waiting for more than ten minutes.
"Don't get distracted!" Luo Yuan stared at her and thought for a while. "You guys stay here and be careful. I'll go take a look."
Before Huang Jiahui could stop him, Luo Yuan dashed forward and disappeared from everyone's sight.
However, in less than ten minutes, he came back. When he came, he seemed to be dragging a long mutated creature in his hand. It was about a meter thick. As for its length, due to the cover of the bushes, no one could see it at all. It seemed that they could not see the end of it.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it. The children sat on the ground, paralyzed, but when they looked closely, they realized that it was just a layer of skin.
Luo Yuan threw the skin on the ground. It was very light, so it floated as soon as it landed in the water. The giant lizard took a step back at first, but after a while, it walked closer and sniffed. It suddenly snorted and stomped on the ground with its front legs, as if it was angry at its reaction.
Luo Yuan quickly chased it away when he saw that it was being so wasteful.
"Brother Luo, don't tell me this creature is molting?" Cao Ling did not dare get too close. Even if it was just a piece of skin, it was still scary. It seemed to be exuding a strange aura. Just looking at it from afar made her nervous.
"Absolutely. Otherwise, it wouldn't have broken so many piers. This mutated beast used to be a snake. If it was in ancient times, it would have become a dragon. " Huo Dong was speechless too. He curiously came closer to take a look. It was as if the snakeskin had come alive. He quickly took a few steps back and said, "That's weird. It looks like a living thing."
Huo Dong was right. It was indeed a dragon. This was the first time he had seen the system name a dragon. A dragon was a mythical creature. Whenever the Chinese mentioned a dragon, it was usually related to a dragon. There had been one before, but it was a dragon snake. Although it had the word "dragon", it was still a snake. Even though the order was reversed, the meaning was completely different.
For example, a panda's real name should be Panda, because pandas were bears, not cats.
But this time, it was a real dragon. Its official name was Tiger-Head Dragon.
"Tiger-Head Dragon Molt."
"Rarity: Light Green."
"Weight: 30kg."
"Attributes: None."
"Additional Abilities: Weak Dragon Power, Force Reduction."
"Evaluation: The Tiger-Headed Flood Dragon is a natural overlord of the land and is at the top of the food chain. Even its Flood Dragon Skin can emit a weak dragon's aura to announce its power. At the same time, the power of any attack on its body will be dissipated by its skin."
